Default Anchor text related to Keyword...

Is it important that your anchor text is related to your targeted keywords?

I'd like to think so, and I think a lot of people will agree with me, but it's one of many things. If you're onsite SEO is shot, then the anchor text is the least of your problems.

Well, anchor text(s) = keyword(s)
not just related, but the keyword itself

You can also help yourself by using semantically related anchor text.

EG.
if you have a pet website you can use the anchor text of 'animal' pet, pets, animals, companions, (and of course individual animal names) do NOT get the links all the same and all to the same page or you will raise a flag.

If you want to know a nice trick, and it is not a trick at all, see this example:

Page title that you want to link to = Anchor text

Your title should have the highest priority in matching page content. If your anchor tag words can't match it, then what quality could that link be?
